Moncton resident Krista Richard provides free bicycles to children through her program, Bikes and Trikes for Everyone [1].
This initiative creates accessibility to outdoor activity and physical health for children who might otherwise lack the resources to own a bicycle. It highlights the community-driven support systems that often fill gaps in municipal services.
Richard is currently in the 14th year [1] of running the giveaway program. She is motivated by the desire to see the joy on the faces of the children who receive the bikes [2].
According to reports, the program provides both bikes and trikes to children in the Moncton, New Brunswick area [1]. The effort is a long-term commitment to the community, spanning over a decade of service.
Richard said the program is about the joy of the children [2].
While the program operates on a small scale, its longevity suggests a sustainable model of community charity. The process of refurbishing and distributing bikes allows children to explore their neighborhoods up to 14 years [1] of program history.
Richard said the program is called Bikes and Trikes for Everyone [1].
